Mastercard Heavy Metal Card

Mastercard is advertising what they’re calling the “Heavy
Metal” card.

I wonder why they call it the Heavy Metal card? Does the APR
weight users down like a piece of heavy metal might? Is dealing with the
company so frustrating that it makes users want to bang their heads? Is there a
bonus plan for customers who worship Satan?

But if they’re going to call it the Heavy Metal card, they
should get heavy metal musicians to advertise the card in TV, radio and
internet ads, and they should also sponsor a heavy metal concert series or
festival, as these things would definitely make people remember that there is
such a thing as a Heavy Metal Mastercard.
